For budget-friendly dining, you can’t go wrong with the town’s "tasquinhas," or traditional Portuguese taverns. Start with a visit to "Taberna d’Adélia," where the seafood rice and grilled sardines are must-tries. These cozy spots often serve large portions at reasonable prices, making it easy to sample a variety of traditional dishes without overspending. Be sure to stop by "O Filipe," especially for their caldeirada, a hearty Portuguese fish stew perfect for refueling after a day of adventures near the famous Nazaré Lighthouse.

If street food and casual eats are more your speed, head to Praça Sousa Oliveira in the lower part of town. Here you’ll find bakeries like "Pão de Mar," serving up freshly baked pastel de nata and pão com chouriço (spicy sausage bread)—perfect for grabbing lunch on the go. Pair it with a coffee from a nearby café for an authentic budget bite, great for walkers enjoying Nazaré's charming streetscape.

For those who love to shop and cook, exploring the local markets is a budget traveler’s dream. The Municipal Market of Nazaré is brimming with fresh catches from the Atlantic, colorful produce, and everything you need for a homemade meal at your rental. Buying ingredients locally not only saves money but also lets you experience Portugal the way locals do. Plus, cooking up your finds in a fully equipped kitchen with views of Sitio and Praia do Norte is an unforgettable experience.

If you’re craving something sweet, don’t leave Nazaré without trying the bolo de berlim at Café Portugal. These Portuguese-style donuts, dusted with sugar and filled with a custard-like cream, are the perfect treat after a long day exploring. Pair one with a glass of ginginha, a cherry liqueur often served in an edible chocolate cup, for a quintessentially Portuguese indulgence.
